Highlights:
According to the IOM DTM report in April, there are 1.3 million IDPs in the three North East states, indicating almost 300,000 newly displaced people since February.
Spontaneous returns have been registered, especially in Adamawa and the UN, in collaboration with the government of Nigeria, is planning a joint needs assessment of the areas of return later this month focusing on both humanitarian and livelihood/early recovery needs of the IDPs.
A multi-sectoral team from UNICEF Abuja undertook a field support mission to the Field Office in Borno to assess the situation in Dalori Camp and to develop a plan to address the issue of high mortality in the camp. There is a lower Crude Mortality Rate of 0.84/10,000/per day which was 0.92/10,000/day reported 2 weeks ago.
35,455 children have been reached with psychosocial support services in 141 communities and 21 IDP camps in the three North East states affected by the crisis, through a network of 474 trained community volunteers – this includes 50 newly trained community volunteers in Borno (Ngala LGA).
Between January and April 2015, 14,153 children under five were admitted into therapeutic feeding programmes in the states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. A total of 9,595 (77.7%) children recovered and were discharged from therapeutic care.
With UNICEF support, three new outreach clinics are operational in Dalori camp in Maiduguri (including a maternity ward) and two clinics in Yobe in the last three weeks in response to the needs of those rescued from Sambisa Forest and returnees from the Republic of Niger.
Outreach clinics in IDP camps in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, providing integrated health services have benefitted 122,209 people; and 14,800 long lasting mosquito nets have been distributed to men, women and children in IDP camps in Yobe and Borno.
As of 31 May, UNICEF had received $7.76 million against $26.5 million of the 2015 HAC requirements.
